fake relationship trope is a go! \o/ this way it looks like psi is a possible competent demon, and foster gets to pretend his patron is a super scary possibly competent demon! i guess we've just put roleplay in our roleplay. :|b
AND YES I totally give permission for Foster to magically gaslight people.
and yeah as far as the evil corruption thing goes... i haven't cleared this with quix because i dont intend on it coming up, but i feel like it's like.. if psi hung out with the same person often enough and messed with their mind a bit each time using his power to intensify their desire to hurt someone/steal/cheat etc. so, do things that are basically 'amoral,' it would start to break down their sense of right and wrong. sort of like his presence in their mind would be like a constant poison that would begin to decay their moral fiber.
so after long enough eventually this person would become completely impulsive just acting on whatever desire they have at that exact moment in time, and it's really easy for psi to suggestively direct them towards a certain desire since that's what his power is all about he thereby can sort of (very vaguely) control this person. he probably did this a lot more as a younger demon just to fuck with people because it was funny, but eventually it lost it's appeal so he just doesn't do it because its more fun to mess with people 'the hard way'
plus it takes sooo long. like months and months of time. probably like at least 3 months. i mean i imagine it'd be possible to do it faster if you sort of forced it, but the person would have a strong enough sense of identity to be able to force you out if they were truly righteous and also it might not last as long because loved ones or whatever could probably snap them out of it easier and it would definitely make the person look more "crazy" than like, just 'evil' like they temporarily just lost it, but even that would take weeks so. /shrug
anyway its not anything you have to use and i don't even think im going to use it but in my conceptualization of this character i think it would be within the realm of possibility for him to do that.
and well also, if you want to have something in foster slowly decaying again i guess this is an option xD
